Income Taxes
About
Current Tax and Deferred Tax
The accounting standards IAS 12 / Ind AS 12 / AS 22 – Income taxes require entities to recognize current and deferred tax and present certain disclosures in their financial statements.
Current tax is the income tax payable/recoverable in respect of the current period’s taxable profit/loss. Deferred tax is the income tax payable/recoverable in respect of future periods.
At a broad level, the
accounting standard
requires entities to :
Determine the tax base of assets/liabilities
Identify temporary differences
Determine if an exemption applies
Measure deferred taxes using enacted
or substantively enacted tax rates
Recognize deferred taxes
Present disclosures
DTAX automates current and deferred tax accounting and its corresponding disclosures required as per IAS 12 / Ind AS 12 / AS 22 – Income Taxes. Most importantly, effective tax rate reconciliation is completely automated by DTAX
